Cody Puckett was named the Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TSWA) Pitcher of the Week last week.
Puckett, a former DCHS Tiger and now a senior standout on the mound at MTSU, pitched a career-topping performance against Rice last Saturday, pitching seven scoreless innings, striking out eight batters and allowing only four hits in the Blue Raiders’ 13-1 win.
The Smithville native retired the final 16 of 19 batters he faced in the contest against Rice. He reportedly has the lowest ERA in the MTSU starting rotation, and is second on the team with 62 strikeouts.
